Open any UART communication tools like HypeTerminal(115200,n,8,1). B. Press any key on HyperTerminal window, the window will show CLI> prompt. C. Type help will show help screen. D. One command to update firmware. Step as follow, E. Issue download & update command under CLI>. CLI>fdl code 0 Please Use XModem Protocol for File Transmission. Use Q Or q to quit Download before starting XModem. <-----expander prompt for ready to receive file to update. F. Then under HyperTerminal program, use the pull down menu item transfer Send -> send files when dialog box prompts, choose Xmodem and the file in the directory then press send. (1). If the expander receives the file under the timeout limit (60s), the process starts. (2). If time out, please retry the step E again. 32 Netstor

36 CLI Command G. You can also cancel the program step by type q. H. If transfer OK, the transfered data is updated. Cold-start expander (Power cycle again) to take effect. Example: Update procedure, use Xmodem to transfer, refer to fdl command for detail operation. CLI> fdl { code mfgb } offset[enter] Use HyperTerminal or TeraTerm utility with Xmodem mode to transfer and update files. If transfer OK, the transfered data is updated. Cold-start expander (Power cycle again) to take effect. The following firmware and data are available in the following filename format. (1)FW file (CODE) : sas2xfwxxxx.fw (2)Data file (MFGB) : mfgdat6gyyyy.rom Update 6Gb/s SAS JBOD enclosure firmware: CLI> fdl code 0 Use HyperTerminal or TeraTerm utility with Xmodem mode to transfer sas2xfwxxxx.fw. If transfer OK, the transfered data is updated. Cold-start expander (Power cycle again) to take effect. Update SAS expander data file: CLI>fdl mfgb 0 Use HyperTerminal or TeraTerm utility with Xmodem mode to transfer mfgdat6gyyyy.rom. If transfer OK, the transfered data is updated. Cold-start expander (Power cycle again) to take effect. Netstor 33

37 CLI Command FAN Command The fan command defines the speed of the four fans within the 6Gb/s SAS JBOD enclosure. You are able to set the speed of fan on code between 1 and 7. Code 1 means the slowest speed, and code 7 stands for the highest speed of fan. It is suggested that the speed of fan to be set between codes 5 to 7 because as it is set under code 4, the system for the detection of fan speed becomes sensitive and it will get to beep easily. Syntax CLI> fan [ speed code speed code ] [Enter] The speed of the four fans will be defined by the speed code you entered. Example: CLI> fan 7 7 The speed of the four fans will be set to the highest. CLI> st Save the configuration to the system.
